    Bell running in the snow or ice gives the Steelers an advantage.

    For that matter, Bell running on dry turf gives the Steelers an advantage.

      Has an NFL game ever been postponed because of weather? This isn't a girls' like baseball.

        Move the game to Heinz Field just to be on the safe side.
        Obviously the standard is the standard.

          Yes. Many times.

          Most recently in 2014 - Bills/Jets game was postponed one day and moved to a neutral site (Detroit) due to a snowstorm in Buffalo.

            So, what are the Pats doing for their bye week this weekend?

                Looking forward to Jadeveon Clowney introducing himself to Tom Brady the same way he once greeted fellow Michigan Wolverine Vincent Smith.
                Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                  Just the usual: maintenance of the surveillance electronics in the LightHouse at Gillette Stadium, installation of subsonic fear-inducing speakers under the visitors bench, and switching to an all-natural diet featuring recipes from Tom Brady's $200 cookbook.

                    Don't think so, but my memory only goes back to the late 1960s (and my memory isn't all that good).

                    Maybe in the early days of the NFL it might have happened.

                          Our Lions may be pretty bad, but the Jets and Bills really SUCK!!!

                            If there were any Lions fans intelligent enough to use a computer and get on the Internet, they would be dismayed by your snarky comment.

                            But there's no danger of that happening.
